I watered this morning all the pots along the yew allee... I like the allee and enjoyed the watering!!!! I also got to water the morning glories and dahlias and early in the morning that is a great job!!!!
After that I went and helped dig holes for rosemary until Gracy, Kate and I had our workshop on irrigation maintenance... Alex Fernandez (Garden Manager) taught us and it was way interesting!!!! We got to learn about sprinkler and watering systems and how they work. We got to learn the best way to put in a system and the smartest way to save you time later!!!! He showed us the different kind of heads they use and how they work... also why they use the ones they do for the different locations!!!! He showed us how to change heads and what to look for if something seems to not be working right... and sent us with a lot of reading material!!!!
After Lunch we got to go with Dave and actually work with a system!!!! This was interesting also because it was our job to find and fix problems... Dave had gone through and messed up the system so there was lots to fix :) We had clean filters and pressure gages and new heads... we also had a really cool hand held that made the different sprinklers come on when we hit the buttons right!!! The people walking by thought we were pretty cool :) It took us all the rest of the day to check the system but it was fun and I learned a lot!!!
